New Orleans, Louisiana based non-profit, High Voltage is dedicating its #Give828 campaign to disaster relief and youth development.
In 2020, our Bags of Hope Project provided hundreds of facemasks, gallons of hand sanitizer, gloves, soap, diapers, sanitary products, etc. to families impacted by Hurricanes Laura and Delta. The Bags were given to the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services and the American Red Cross for distribution.
In 2021, High Voltage partnered with the Omaha Storm Chasers baseball team, Union Omaha Soccer Club, ABC Supply Company and Werner Enterprises to bring over 42,000 lbs of relief to Hurricane Ida victims.
High Voltage also partnered with Essence, Inc. in 2021 for Action for Access Initiative to provide support to our senior citizen population. Several of our volunteers participated in the online version of the Essence Music Festival. During the past 2 1/2 years, our take home summer reading program has helped to improve the reading skills of over 100 students. As we look to August 28, it remembers of all we have survived from Hurricane Katrina to Hurricane Ida. We are moving with continued resilience to improve our city, State of Louisiana and nation.
